Once you watch it, I am sure that you will see why I have been anticipating this so much. Baobab is like the origin of a myth, a story which is handed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of years ago in Madagascar lived a baobab tree. She was the most beautiful tree in the forest, tall and graceful – a feminine sentience which nurtured the forest and its inhabitants. Her protector was a giant primate, fierce and loyal, who would die before harm befell his charge. Then, one day, man came to the forest.<br /><br />Baobab was directed by <a href="http://www.theartofnikosmoss.blogspot.fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nicolas Loesner</a>, <a href="http://www.nanouportfolio.blogspot.fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anaëlle Moreau</a>, Marina Steck (no link, her blog is invite only, sorry), <a href="http://www.simontaroni.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Simon Taroni</a> and <a href="http://www.trobeportfolio.blogspot.fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benjamin Tron</a> with music by <a href="http://www.pierremanchot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pierre Manchot</a>. Here comes the remarkable part: the directors listed above were all students when they created Baobab, which makes us their graduation short from <a href="http://supinfocom.rubika-edu.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Supinfocom Valenciennes.</a><br /><br />Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841594006557282266noreply@blogger.com
